Our app provides an on-device version of the Mojeek search engine, which includes the following features: • Independent and unbiased search results • Search that doesn’t follow you around • Search technology created from the ground up • Hosted in the UK’s Greenest Data Centre Independent and unbiased search results Mojeek is a crawler based search engine with its very own index of web pages, so we are not reliant on any other engine to produce our results. Mojeek doesn't have an agenda because we believe it’s a search engine’s job to provide you with relevant search results, not to force a point of view on you. Search that doesn’t follow you around Mojeek was the first search engine ever to state that it doesn't track its users, and we've been committed to privacy ever since. This means Mojeek does not possess any identifying information on you, such as IP addresses, search history or click behaviour. That's because we think it’s your right to search the web without someone following you around. Search technology created from the ground up When you do a search on Mojeek, the results shown have been generated by our own algorithm, from our own database of web pages, which was crawled and made searchable by our own technology. Hosted in the UK’s Greenest Data Centre As a search engine, our servers need to be connected 24/7 and use more power than most, so our responsibility to minimise our footprint on the environment is something we believe to be very important. This is a key reason why we chose Custodian to host and run our servers, as a winner of the 'Green Data Centre' accolade at the Datacentre Leaders Awards.
